Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb bacon
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped
1 lb nopales (fresh cactus pads, cleaned of thorns and sliced into 1/4-inch strips)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 large tomatoes, chopped
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
salt

Steps:

  • Fry bacon and remove to drain.
  • Pour off most of the bacon drippings, leaving enough in the pan to sauté the onions and garlic.
  • When onions are transparent, add chilies, nopalitos, chili powder, and tomato.
  • Cook for five minutes and stir in eggs. When eggs are scrambled, top with grated cheese and bacon, and serve with tortillas, home-fried potatoes, and refried beans.
